This was actually a gift for my son. He had a table but no umbrella for shade and he likes to entertain day and night. So per my son, he loves it and his party guests loved it too. The umbrella provides shade on sunny days and at night it has beautiful solar lights that provide nice lighting. He said this was the best gift I could give him and he really enjoys being outside more since it provides plenty of shade.I bought this because it was suppose to be great value for having both the stand and umbrella but unfortunately the stand does not hold the umbrella upright. I contacted seller about it and they sent me a new piece (seller communication was good), unfortunately it did not fix the issue. It’s just not sturdy. The umbrella itself was nice. But I can barely use it b/c I have no working stand….So far, it’s not able to be used - as the base was missing a vital piece that said, included.I corresponded with a Representative from Yaheetech, and sent them a couple photos of the missing base assembly piece.I heard back, promptly with a promise that they were shipping the piece…Asap…..it’s not here yet.I will gladly change my review,and soon as I receive the part…and be able to use this patio umbrella.Right for price and functionality. Customer support was responsive to inquiries and umbrella & material have held up. However, the solar lights are barely visible when on and do not last long at all. Disappointing.The umbrella itself is great! The base broke within the first use. I would have liked the seller to give a portion refund for the base and let me keep the umbrella, but that wasn’t an option. If like this umbrella I suggest finding it without the base and making your own. I made a flower pot base for ours.The umbrella is sturdy and lights work great however stand is terrible as plastic sleeve to hold umbrella does not seat properly and is not strong enough to hold umbrella Do yourself a favor and purchase stand separately as this stand is garbage.Great umbrella, lights are cute, sad to say it was broken on the 2nd weekend in a horrible wind/rain storm. I was able to repair some of it so we can still use it. But it isn't as beautiful.Got this over the weekend and put it up Tuesday but it's already fallen over, out of the stand, 3 times. I should have guessed with the price, but the umbrella itself really is nice. I'll be looking for a better stand to hold this a little more secure so it stays upright.
